Hannelore Helbing-Sheafe believes that 'we are what we eat' and think. Her intense interest in the healing power of natural foods surfaced early in her career as a holistic health practitioner. 'Nature's Pharmacy' is the result of over 30 years of studying the relationship between various disease processes and 'key nutrient deficiencies'. She counseled and treated many very sick individuals in her practice and saw remarkable improvement and often astounding relief, when these patients changed their eating habits and focused on a natural, wholesome diet. 'Nature's Pharmacy' teaches that each vitamin, mineral and trace element has very specific functions in the human body and what happens to a person's health when 'nutrient deficiencies' occur. A 'symptom categories list' plus a large index help the reader to find their specific health problem and which nutrients are usually lacking. This information will take them to the individual nutrients listed in this book. Each vitamin, mineral and trace element entry provides in-depth information about how each nutrient functions in the human body, lists all known deficiency symptoms associated with that nutrient and provides important and highly detailed 'food sources' lists, which can be used to focus on specific foods which provide the missing nutrients and help to correct existing health problems.
